The Curriculum Elements

A minimum of 120 semester hours are needed to graduate from The University of Alabama, including the following specified requirements:

Foundations of Adult Learning Seminar	3 Sem. Hrs.
EXD Writing Skills and Strategies	3 Sem. Hrs.
Humanities	12 Sem. Hrs.
Communication Skills	6 Sem. Hrs.
Social Sciences	12 Sem. Hrs.
Natural Science (2 hours of lab)	8 Sem. Hrs.
Mathematics ( Finite – Math 110 or higher unless seeking a BS then Math 125 is required )	3 Sem. Hrs.
Depth Study/Major	30 Sem. Hrs.
Senior Project (Includes 2 hours of Research)	8 Sem. Hrs.

The remaining semester hours may be distributed throughout the curriculum or as electives to meet individual goals.

Work completed at any regionally accredited college or university may be transferred as part of the degree plan. A maximum of 60 semester hours or 90 quarter hours may be transferred from 2-year colleges. Only those courses taught at 2-year colleges that are designated by those institutions as baccalaureate-oriented or college-parallel, or that are generally recognized as such, may be considered for transfer.

Because the EXD Program is a distance-learning, writing-intensive program, we highly recommend that the 6-semester-hour "Communication Skills" requirement be fulfilled prior to seminar attendance. This can be done by attaining a grade of "C" or above in correspondence or on-campus courses in written and/or oral communication skills from a regionally accredited institution. In addition, all students are required to complete the EXD Writing Skills and Strategies contract within 6 months after completing the Foundations of Adult Learning Seminar. This class must be passed with a grade of “C” or better.
